Yeah, I got 'em already. All we're missing is Alpha Trion and Wierdwolf. And I suspect we'll get them when Ryan does their eventual galleries.

One of my favorite obscure European toys. Boss!

"Never underestimate your enemy... he’s always worse than you could over imagine..."

Leads with courage and cunning. Fearless in battle frontline. Can outwit even the smartest Decepticon with the sheer skill of his battle strategies. As vehicle. His central forward facing turbine elevates to fend off attack from high flyers. As robot, armed with a powerful hand held turbo defender.

BTW - As "Mach Road" he has a completely differen set of tech specs. Do you have a place to put them?

I don't think we do that. It's the same sort of situation as with the different releases of the same character (Ginrai and PM Prime).

Added, BTW. Thanks.

Technically I'd call it two different characters who share a toy.

Anyways, finishing off the Predators, you are missing the bio for Falcon:

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... har_id=520

Devilishly clever and utterly evil. No-one can devise more daring and dastardly raids. His all-consuming loathing for the Turbomasters may be his downfall... As a plane, farseeing Megavisor capabilities and firepower form a terrifying foe. As a robot attacks with hand-held missile launcher.

Function: Mass destruction soldier

He is a monster whose power has transcended to such an extent that he overwhelms both Autobot and Decepticon troops. He was produced to reflect Optimus Prime's nerve and technical skill, but the depth of his wickedness has not been adjusted in this incarnation. He carries Run-Over who transforms into a crushing laser gun, a threat to all Transformers who confront them.

I have a question. What about characters such as G1 Chromia, Moonracer, Firestar,and even G1 Alpha Trion, and other characters like that who do not have toy bios, or, in some cases, any official bios? Can poeple create bios for them and submit them, or supply their comicbook bios if they have them?

Only characters that have official bios written either by Marvel, Dreamwave, Fun Publications, the Collector's Club or IDW will be added to the VSD.

So, the Dreamwave bios are acceptible. Cool, because I noticed some character who do have Dreamwave bios, don't have Database bios.

Well, I say they're acceptable in the sense that Ryan hasn't really said that I couldn't use them. But have you seen how many characters don't have bios? It took me a combined ten hours to do the ones I found in the Collector's Club newsletter.

BotCon Weirdwolf

stats - 7 9 7 9 5 9 5 6

I could have sworn I did that already. Ah, well. Added.

Here are the official bios for the Classic Mini-Cons.

BROADSIDE
Function: Commander
A former security officer, Broadside always felt he deserved better. After all, he didn't ask to be created as a heavily armed war machine with a brain J, far more powerful than his job required. He carefully studied construction engineering, metallurgy, and military tactics in his off-hours, and took in a lot of surreptitious target practice. Then one day, he showed up for his assignment, and promptly leveled the entire project in a few nanocliks. After learning about the exiled Decepticons, he developed plans to contact them and destabilize the Autobot hold on Cybertron. Having assumed command of the Demolition Team and most of the organized Decepticon Mini-Cons, Broadside finally seems happy with where he is, even if it is as a wanted criminal.

FIRE BOT
Function: Firefighter
Nobody has ever seen Firebot show a hint of fear. He'll wade into a burning building or a fire fight with unflinching determination. Even in the worst situations, he keeps his cool. The most rational of the Night Rescue Team, he's had to pull his companions' skidplates out of the fire (both figuratively and literally) more times than he cares to recall, but not once has he complained. After all, such things keep life interesting! His twin hydro-cannons, operable in both robot and truck modes, can spray a fine cover of fire-retardant foam, or be used as high-pressure water-cannons capable of punching holes in concrete and knocking even a full-sized Decepticon over.

GRINDOR
Function: Espionage/Saboteur
Grindor appears for all the world to be a stupid, hulking brawler with the processing power of a wristwatch. It's an image he goes to great lengths to propagate. There's an incredibly sharp mind whirring away behind that blank expression, and his seemingly random destructive rampages are carefully coordinated. While he's breaking things, he's also directing his Dirt Digger Team compatriots in their assignments via encrypted direct transmission, analyzing their data and adjusting his strategy to account for new developments. Of course, part of why his image is so convincing is that he really does enjoy slowly crushing some unfortunate soul beneath his over sized tires.

KNOCKDOWN
Function: Guardian
Knockdown is a very big, very strong Mini-Con, so it comes as a surprise to some that he really doesn't like fighting. He'd rather be building, using his power to make the planet Cybertron beautiful. When he has to fight, his preferred method of stopping battles is to simply take his opponents and hold them at arms' length until they stop struggling... or if that takes too long, knocking their head against something hard (like his own head) a few times until they get the point. He's fearless and almost unstoppable, and follows Swoop unquestionably, ever since the Autobot took up the reins of leading the Dinobot Mini-Cons following the death of their former leader.

NIGHTSCREAM
Function: Flamethrower
The open skies might not be big enough to contain Nightscream's ego. He's convinced he's the most beautiful, graceful flier of all of Cybertron, a claim not without some merit. His swooping flight patterns defy physics, and his ability to twist and hairpin-turn in midair makes him nearly impossible to hit with anti-aircraft fire. He loves flying low, swooping through land-based obstacles. His dragon-mode head is capable of spitting flames in a variety of intensities, from broad tongues of far reaching orange fire to short range white hot focused heat that can melt through even the toughest armors with surgical precision. While he may be agile, he's not a very fast flier compared to his teammates, and his wings are fairly fragile.

OVERBITE
Function: Tracker
To Overbite's olfactory senses, there is nothing sweeter than the scent of fear. While he can track a target silently and remain unseen, if given the chance, he will give his quarry the briefest of glimpses, the subtlest of hints that he's on their trail so they start to panic. Once they're whipped up into a suitably paranoid state, he strikes. His attacks are merciless, brutal, and messy, and he will typically bring a couple choice pieces back as trophies. Sometimes he'll even take old parts out and play with them, which many of his fellow Mini-Cons think is sick, but Snarl thinks it's a hoot. Overbite is very protective of this macabre collection.

Done.

Here's Beta Maxx's MtMtE bio from the BotCon site:

"Time is a luxury
that few have"

BIO
Preferring solitude to the company of most Autobots, Beta Maxx often finds that only in isolation can he truly focus on the pursuit of knowledge. Always seeking a deeper understanding of how and why Cybertronian life came into existence, he is the keeper of a secret codex used to translate ancient Cybertronian text. Able to interface freely with Vector Sigma and most archaic computer systems, Beta Maxx can gain access to their data banks and store an unfathomable amount of information in his memory processors, making him a valuable resource to his guardian, Alpha Trion. It is unknown as to how long they have been working together or to the greater mystery of who built him, presumably from technology developed during the Golden Age of Cybertron. He is an enigma to the few Autobots that have seen him, with many others believing he is nothing more than a folk tale. To the Decepticon known as Shockwave, Beta Maxx is more than just a rumor. He is the key to unlocking the origin of Primus and Unicron!

WEAPONS / ABILITIES
Beta Maxx's creator knew that his data files would one day be sought by those who would use them to disrupt civilization. To protect him from any threat, Beta Maxx’ alt mode was engineered to serve a double purpose. Not only can he act as a key to Vector Sigma, he is also able to out run and out maneuver most any pursuer in even the tightest quarters with
remarkable bursts of speed. His alt mode brandishes a grenade pulse cannon that can quickly and effectively neutralize hostiles. If aimed appropriately it would leave any bot dismembered. His side cannon deploys a high intensity beam which can interface with and disrupt logic circuits by overloading them with massive amounts of compacted data.

WEAKNESSES
Often times, after having downloaded large amounts of data, Beta Maxx will speak in ancient Cybertronian when trying to relay the information to his fellow Autobots. This can leave him defenseless if he were to be engaged. The methods used to construct him, ancient in nature, are a hinderence in the modern era as if he is in need of an upgrade he can be left in a state of disrepair for quite sometime until appropriate spare parts are found or manufactured. Beta Maxx’s greatest asset is his knowledge, however, if not maintained properly it could also lead to his demise.

Saves me a lot of trouble. Thanks.

You might want to correct the BotCon Alpha Trion's entry too. It has "Safeguard" listed as his partner, when we now know it's "Beta Maxx".

Cybertron series

Name: SMOKESCREEN

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=3418

Bio:

Back on CYBERTRON, SMOKESCREEN was considered a practical joker. Always ready with a gag and a laugh, he kept the mood light, even when the struggle against the black hole looked hopeless. Since the fight against the DECEPTICONS on Earth heated up though, his talent for trickery has been turned against the enemy. More than one DECEPTICON has been stuck in traffic at a series of nonfunctioning toll booths on a remote road in the middle of the desert.

Here are club bios for the Giant Planet Mini-Con team:

DEEPDIVE

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=3438

Firepower is 6.5

Function: Saboteur
Assigned to keep maintenance on underwater power conduits in Gigantion's artificial waterways, Deepdive developed severe depression and personality problems. He would come up with rambling, dull and horrible stories to get out of jobs, and eventually Just vanished from society. Somehow, he ended up with Overcast, who basically bullied the weak-willed Mini-Con into joining his cadre of troublemakers. Deepdive's soul isn't into the destruction he causes, but he hasn't got the spinal structure to stand up for himself against his overbearing teammates.


LONGARM

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=3439

Function: Enforcer
Sharp as a bowl of wet glitch-mice, Longarm's low intelligence wouldn't be so much of a problem if he had some patience or attention span. His last crew boss took his optics off him for only a clik, and found his building quickly reduced to shambles and Longarm nowhere in sight. Easily bored, Longarm cut a path of unintentional destruction through Gigantion's lower levels until he was recruited by Overcast, who managed to focus the Mini-Con's attention, if only slightly. Even Overcast has to make sure he keeps Longarm entertained, or even he could end up a victim of the powerhouse's outbursts!


OVERCAST

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=3440

Rank is 4.5

Function: Ringleader
Overcast is convinced he's too cool, too strong, and too bad to waste his time doing work for others. He abandoned his job as an aerial surveyor, and managed to coerce (or bully) some other disaffected Mini-Cons into a small team of troublemakers. While he's generally content to hang around an abandoned lot declaring his awesomeness (claims he cannot possibly hope to live up to), he does get the urge to stir up trouble from time to time. Sometimes it's a harmless and obnoxious prank...and sometimes, it's the complete destruction of a massive building project, thanks to his powerful missiles!

--
Energon Nightscream

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=2860

Function: Data Analyst
Outwardly nebbish and unassuming, Nightscream was a costs accountant for centuries. After the Unicron Battles, he was working for the Mini-Con Council of Sages when he accidentally intercepted the spy Nightcruz, who was there to steal data on the Council's plans to make new combiner Mini-Cons… and quickly helped him take the data. Since that day, he's been working for the mercenary Rapid Run and loving it, even if he's a spy half the time and the team's accountant the other half. His nerdy outer self masks a deep well of adventure-lust and resentment, which occasionally breaks to the surface as odd berserker fits.

Energon Nightcruz

http://www.seibertron.com/database/char ... ar_id=2859

Function: Espionage
Nightcruz is a mellow, easygoing Mini-Con who doesn't really stand out in a crowd. And that's how he likes it, because it makes his job as a spy all the easier. He can typically just wander close to his target and take in the scene at his leisure, quickly analyzing valuables, weak points, cover, and anything else of interest. Returning to his Decepticon partner Rapid Run, he uses his head configuration (created from stolen Headmaster data from the Omega Supreme project) to quickly dump the data. He then lets Nightscream in his head mode go over the fine points and risks... and then all formulate their plan of attack for minimum risk and maximum profit!

Also, they have a bio for Energon Nightcreeper, but you don' have an entry for him in the VSD.

Scaleface wrote:Also, they have a bio for Energon Nightcreeper, but you don' have an entry for him in the VSD.

That's cause there was no Nightcreeper figure.

And the next time you do a bio post, can you do it in such a way so that it doesn't scroll across the screen?

I don't think that is his fault. The couple of pics of Cybertron Smokescreen are what is causing the scolling. They're very wide.
